DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE NOR ANYTHING ELSE.

ENJOY :)

Mercedes wiggled her toes as she laid back on the hammock, taking a deep breath as she held the bowl in her hand, that contained her cucumbers soaked in vinegar and pepper she has been craving all day. She had wanted nothing more than to lounge around in her hotel room all day, and that's what she did for majority of the day. But, it had got cut short when her girls surprised her with a spa day. It had genuinely been such a relaxing and stress free day. They had did mud baths, then afterwards did a rose water wash off, an hour long deep tissue body massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, and the sauna for a few minutes. Now they were sitting in a room called the chill spot. It was like a comfy living room type area, temperature set at seventy degrees, fruit and vegetable trays, and lemon water.

Leslie held the glass of water in her hands as she went and laid down beside Mercedes, "This was amazing. I feel so relaxed. Hell, I feel like a new woman."

Mercedes laughed as she turned her head to the side, "It was that good, huh?"

"Good is an understatement. Amazing is more like it." Leslie giggled as she looked at her sister in law, smiling, "How are you feeling knowing that you will be a married woman tomorrow afternoon?"

"I have so many emotions running through me, Les." Mercedes sighed as she gave her a sad smile, "I'm so excited, but I can't help but be nervous. Sam is literally the best thing that has happened in a long time, and I'm just so scared I'm going to screw up."

"It's normal to be nervous, babe." Leslie reassured her as she sat up, taking in the shift in her behavior, "But you're not going to screw anything up, Cedes. It honestly breaks my heart when I see you get like this. When are you going to learn that you deserve everything good that has happen in these past couple of years? You out of all people deserve to be happy."

Mercedes wiped the tear that slid from her eye as she sniffled. She didn't know why, but it has always been in her that she didn't deserve happiness, when she knew she did. She guessed after being broken for so long, she didn't think anything good would ever happen to her, "I know that Leslie, I know..but I can't help to feel like I'm going to mess up in the future."

"And if you do, oh well. I'm pretty sure there's nothing that's going to make Sam not love you anymore. That man loves you with every bone in his body, love. And if you haven't notice, you make him so damn happy." Leslie said with a smile as she took her hand and wiped her tears away, "Now come on, let go of those negative thoughts and feelings, and enjoy yourself. You're getting married tomorrow, it's a time to be celebrating."

Mercedes nodded as she sent her a smile, "You're right."

"Ain't I always?" She laughed once she rolled her eyes, turning her head when she heard Santana's voice.

"Even though I don't like no dudes touching my body, I have to say that young Denzel in there did wonders." Santana commented as she sat down in the chair and crossed her legs, "He can touch me anytime."

Mercedes snorted as she shook her head, "Wow, just wow San."

"Can we just stay here forever?" Brittany asked as she came out with Quinn and Tina in tow, plopping down next to Santana.

"I'm saying. I'm so relaxed, I just don't want to do anything." Tina added as she grabbed one of the strawberries off the platter and placed it in her mouth, "I don't even want to go back to New York."

"I agree with you Chang squared." Miraya piped in as she turned to look around the room, "This is very close to heaven."

Mercedes chuckled at her cousin as she closed her eyes, "Soak it in ladies, that's what I'm going to do because lord only knows how long it's going to be until I get another vacation."

"You right on that, sis." Quinn got out just as the door opened to the room, seeing one of the masseuse come out with a tray full of champagne flutes, which caused Leslie to get up immediately.

"Have a drink on us ladies. Congratulations on your nuptials tomorrow, Ms. Jones." The man said with a smile as he sat the tray down on the table. He grabbed one of the glasses off of it and walked over to her, whispering to where she could only hear, "It's ginger ale. Your fiancé called and made sure that if any drinks were being served, not to give you anything with alcohol."

Mercedes smiled at him as she grabbed the flute, "Thank you so much." She watched as he nodded and walked out the room. She shook her head at Sam, trying to figure out how exactly he knew where they were going to be for him to know to call.

"Alright, alright." Quinn said as she picked up her a glass and stood up, looking around at all the ladies in the room, "I would like to make a toast to the beautiful bride to be. Mercedes, I'm so happy for you and can't wait to experience the day with you tomorrow. Love you so much, sis. To Mercedes."

"To Mercedes." They all said as they clinked their glasses together, smiling and laughing before they fell back into a conversation.

LeShawn turned the beer bottle in his hand as he leaned his head to the side, taking a deep breath, "Honestly, a gentlemen's club wouldn't have been a total bad idea."

"Yes the hell it would've." Seth piped in as he turned to look at the Jones' cousin before looking around at the men, "I'm not about to get killed by y'alls wives, who by the way all love and trust me, because you want to go to a sleazy, cheap, strip club. Hell no."

Sam snorted at his little brother as he laid back on the couch with his eyes closed, trying his best to get a nap in but the guys were making it impossible.

"I agree with little Evans." Miguel responded as he picked up his burger and bit into it, "That's old and tacky. Half of us are grown married men, and we need to do grown married men things that's not going to disrespect our wives."

"Exactly. That's why tonight, we have a dress code. No jeans, t-shirts, or sneakers. Strictly dress pants or khakis, dress shirts, dress shoes, and if you want to go overboard, you can even wear a suit." Seth said as he rubbed his hands together with a smirk on his face, "I have something pretty dope planned."

Mike eyed the young boy strangely as he leaned against wall, "As long as it doesn't have me sleeping on the couch when I get home."

"Trust me, it's not. Now, everyone disperse to your own rooms and we'll regroup downstairs in two hours."

"I don't know about y'all, but I have a good feeling that this little dude planned something legit." Tyson said as he patted Seth's shoulder before walking pass him and heading towards the door.

Seth smiled triumphantly before he turned and looked down at his brother, who was on the verge of going to sleep, "I'm going to set an alarm, so you'll wake up on time."

"Mhm." Sam hummed out before he took a deep breath and drifted off to sleep. The hour and half nap was indeed helpful, but he honestly could've slept some more when the alarm his brother set went off. When he was up, Seth told him that he already had his stuff out and ironed, he just needed to give his hair a quick trim. Once he got done with that, he disappeared into the room and got dressed in the gray button down shirt and black dress pants his brother had out for him, "So, are you really not going to tell me where we are going?"

Seth looked in the mirror as he ran his hand through his hair, moving down to fix the cuffs on his shirt. Hearing Sam's voice, he turned around and smiled as he shook his head, "No man, but I promise, you're going to like it. Now come on."

Sam grabbed his phone, wallet and key to the room, stuffing it in his pocket as they walked out. Once they made it halfway down the hallway, he stopped in his tracks when he heard a familiar voice.

"I'll be damn. I can smell y'all cologne all the way in the elevator. Where are you two studs heading?" Miraya asked with a smile as she stopped in the middle of the hallway, crossing her arms over her chest.

Seth smirked at the woman, "Nice try, but you're not going to get it out of us." He watched as Miraya's eyes moved over to Sam's, raising her right brow much like Mercedes did.

Sam saw the look she was giving him and raised his hands up, "I don't even know myself."

"Mhm." She said as she started to walk passed them, not without giving them one final word, "Stay out of trouble tonight."

"You all do the same." Seth commented as he wrapped his arm around Sam's neck and headed towards the elevator, pushing the button, "Them Jones' women all scare the hell out of me."

Sam nodded in agreement as the doors opened, "You're not lying on that."

Mercedes smiled at the waiter when he pulled the chair out for her, thanking him as she scooted up. Tonight, she had told her girls she just wanted to do something quite and they didn't disappoint. After the amazing and relaxing day at the spa, they had planned a private dinner in a restaurant. She had on a black slip styled dress with a short white top attached to it, paired with black sandal ankle strap high heels.

Tamara crossed her legs as she sat beside her aunt, opening up the menu. She was pretty excited for tomorrow. She was so happy for her aunt and uncle. The only thing that was bothering her was how her grandmother wasn't going to be here until tomorrow. She didn't know what her problem was but she was truly disappointed that she was treating her aunt like she was.

Leslie had looked down at her phone when it vibrated and smiled when she saw it was a text from Sam's dad. He had volunteered to keep baby Antonio since he wasn't going anywhere tonight. He was giving her updates so she wouldn't be the typical mom calling and checking every few minutes.

Once everyone got their drinks, appetizers and dinner orders in, Mary took a sip of her wine before looking at her future daughter in law, smiling, "Mercedes, are you absolutely positive you are ready to marry my knucklehead son?"

"Yeah, are you sure that Sam, out of every male in the world, is the one?" Sadie asked jokingly as she smiled at the older woman.

Mercedes giggled at the two before nodding, "I'm absolutely sure I want to marry your son and brother. He's it for me."

"Awww." All of the girls gushed, noticeably making Mercedes' blush.

Quinn smiled brightly as she watched her best friend. Although she knew she was nervous, majority of her was so excited and that made her excited, "Any babies coming soon?"

Santana hummed out as she put her glass down, pointing over to her friend, "If she's not pregnant now, she's going to be by the end of next week."

"Oh my god." Mercedes mumbled as she covered her face up with her hands, feeling her face heat up with embarrassment as she peeked through to glance at Mary, "I'm sorry, mama."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. You and Sam have a healthy, and very active sex life, nothing wrong with that, darling." Mary chimed in, causing Mercedes to cover her face even more.

Tina laughed at the women as they continued to teased Mercedes, "Ah ladies, leave the bride alone."

Sapphire laughed at her cousin as she sat back in the chair, crossing her arms, "But seriously Cedes, do you see kids in you and Sam's future?"

Mercedes removed her hands from her face, swallowing the lump in her throat as she looked at them with an innocent smile, "I actually do. You guys know I have never been the one who has thought about marriage and kids. But every since Sam came into my life, it has been a total three sixty."

Brittany smiled as she grabbed ahold of Santana's hand, "I'm so happy for you Mercedes."

"Me too." Sadie said as she gazed over at her with a smile, "Not only am I thankful that you are going to be married to my brother, but I'm thankful that I get to gain a sister. You not only make my brother happy, you make my whole family happy. You're beautiful, so sweet, loving and kind. And I'm glad that you're going to officially be apart of my crazy family."

Mercedes couldn't stop the tears that fell from her face if she tried. She was so grateful for Sam's family, who would soon be hers too. They were seriously the sweetest people she has ever met.

Tamara gave her a smile as she wrapped her arm around her and gave her a hug, laying the side of her head against hers.

"Thank goodness for food." Brittany said as she saw the waiters coming back with trays with their appetizers on it.

"Yum." Mercedes watched as they sat everything down, chuckling to herself when she heard her stomach growling.

Miraya put her two grilled oysters on the plate, followed by some spinach dip before she lifted her eyes to her cousin, "'Mercedes, I know you and Sam are doing the no seeing the other one until the wedding, but are you two at least going to talk?"

"Nope, we can only text."

Sadie snorted as she sat back in her seat, "Oh God, he's going to go crazy. I don't know if you know or not, but Sam can't go a day without being around or talking to you. I'm surprised he didn't have a mental breakdown when he went undercover for those three months."

"You know, I am shocked too." Sierra spoke up for the first time. Mercedes had invited her and her husband, and Alec as well. They had all become so close upon their arrivals, they easily became like family, "Even with me not knowing him personally at the time, just hearing about how crazy he was about you made me know that you guys are really soulmates."

"I agree with that." Leslie smiled as she picked up her wine glass, "To a wonderful ladies night out and to Mercedes and Sam on their union tomorrow."

"Cheers." They all said as they clinked their glasses together, smiling and laughing as they kept up a lively conversation over their food.

"Seth Evans, you have taken me by surprised. I'm impressed." Morris said as he sat down in the chair, picking up his short glass of bourbon.

Seth sat back on the couch like seat as he looked around. He had to toot his own horn and say he did good. He took the job of being his brother's best man seriously. That's why when he began planning his bachelor party, he wanted it to be classy, but also manly. An upscale cigar bar was his choice. It was a place with they served nothing but the best cigars from around the world, get drinks from the bar, food, and of course engaged in card games, "I bet you all don't feel so worried now with me spending the money we all put in."

Mike laughed as he nodded his head, "Not at all."

"I'm proud of you. I would've never thought you would do something like this. You most certainly showed your maturity on this."

"Awww, brothers love." Miguel teased as he watched Sam ruffle Seth's hair, "You two are adorable."

Sam leaned up and threw a napkin over his way, laughing at the man as he put the cigar down in the ashtray.

Tyson thanked the waitress as she brought him another drink, "So Sam, are you ready to marry my little cousin tomorrow?"

"I am, I really am but I'm not going to lie and say I'm not nervous."

"Which is definitely normal." Mike weighed in as he leaned forward and placed his glass on the coaster, "I swear when me and Tina got married, I was more nervous than her. And it wasn't even just the wedding I was nervous about. I was so afraid that I was going to mess up down the line, you know?"

"I know, because that's exactly how I feel now."

"Every person is nervous when they start a new chapter in their lives." Miguel started as he put the cigar down and turned to look at all of them, "And it's okay. You both are going to be fine."

LeShawn nodded in agreement of what his cousin just said, glancing over at Sam, "I know we have said this countless of times, but you treat our girl right like I know you will, man. She is literally the most precious person to all of us."

"I agree." Morris spoke up as he let out a sigh, "I know we haven't really gotten along because of my personal bull, but I know that you do treat my sister like the queen she is. That's all I can ask for. Mercedes is really special, and she deserves someone who is going to love her for exactly who she is. Flaws and all."

Miguel stood up and clapped, causing everyone to look at him strangely, "I'm so proud of you right now, seriously."

Morris rolled his eyes at his brother while a small smile took over his lips, "Shut up Miguel, seriously."

Sam smiled at the two brothers before he put his head down. Although him and Morris had their differences, and still do to a certain point, he wasn't going to lie and say he didn't feel good to hear him say what he said because it did. He came out of his thoughts when he saw the waitress walking over to him.

"Alright, Mr. Evans." The woman came over with a smile and bent down, holding the wooden box out for him, "From our family to you. In this box contains 34 cigars in different shapes, sizes, and flavors including four travel size Jack Daniels bottles. Congrats on your big day tomorrow. Whoever your bride to be is, she's really lucky."

"Nah, I'm the lucky one." He corrected as he took the box from her, giving her a small smile as he sat on the table, "Thank you."

"No problem. If any of you gentlemen need anything else, just let me know." She said as she stood up, letting her eyes linger on Ja'Darius before she walked away.

Miguel removed the cup from his lips when he noticed the little interaction between his cousin and the waitress, "This night is definitely not going to end pure."

"You are correct on that, cuzzo. If you gentlemen will excuse me." JaDarius said with a smirk as he stood up, straightening up his clothes as he walked away, "I'm going to go get a refill."

"Refill my ass." Morris shook his head as he picked up a hot wing, "God, these kids these days."

"He has always been whoreish, that's nothing new."

Mike snorted at Miguel, thinking about how the young man was growing up, "So true." He shook his head as he picked up his beer and stood up, clearing his throat, "I want to give a toast for tonight. Sam, my man, you have become a brother to me over these past few years. I'm so happy that you are marrying your best friend tomorrow. I wish you and Mercedes nothing but love, light, and many blessings. To Sam and Mercedes."

"To Sam and Mercedes."

Sam smiled as he clinked his glass against theirs, taking a sip of the brown liquor. He was beyond thrilled for tomorrow, and he couldn't wait to see his beautiful, future wife.
